A great place to learn and improve your game. My wife and I recently moved near here and decided to take up golf. We took some lessons and they’ve really paid off. We’re having fun and getting our first round in together next week!

This is a Tolstoy novel so buckle up y’all.
Meriwether’s staff is ABSOLUTELY on par (no pun intended) with Langdon for level of happy, welcoming and positive. It doesn’t feel forced either. It just seems like they hire naturally good people who have great attitudes. Isaac and Chase in the Pro Shop are who I interact most with and my only “complaint” about Chase is that the man knows of my serious weakness for anything Nike and he always makes sure to point out all their new Nike markdowns so I inevitably buy something. In the last 2 years I have bought 3 pairs of shoes, 3 zips/jackets, 2 hats and 1 shirt from Meriwether. Damn you Chase! 😂
I also rate it 5 stars because the actual golf part of the facility has everything you need for golfers from just beginning to plus-handicap sticks. 18 hole course, 9 hole practice course, grass range, mat range, bunker practice facility, short game practice facility, full locker room to change and brand new carts with USB chargers.
The best deal in Portland area golf is $139 for M-SU unlimited play on the 9-hole practice (Executive) course. It runs the 1st through the last day of every month and isn’t pro-rated. Always buy it the first week of the month to get your moneys worth. (I play 36-54 holes a weekend on it.) You can play that practice course a million different ways. Leave the big stick and woods/metals in the bag and only play irons/hybrids OR bring all 14 and challenge the two 320yd par 4s.
The 18 hole course is solid and a test for any level with fantastically kept greens. One of the features of many holes on the full course is that they use dry, natural grass areas as the “rough” and those areas are either going to run your ball OB OR under trees OR give you a hard pack lie if you get lucky. So accuracy is key. The fairways are always well-kept.
If you are any level of golfer and love playing golf for the actual GAME of golf, everything you need will be found at Meriwether. Except their bar doesn’t sell cigars. You have to bring your own cigars.
Meriwether are my people.
Thanks for taking an hour of your day to read my review. I do hope Iit helps bring you out and may you play well my friends!

Another course in the Portland/Salem area I have been wanting to try. I played here between Christmas & New Year, and with the weather this area had recently been exposed to, I thought the course was very dry. Great layout, and well maintained from tee to green. Challenging but not extremely difficult. Just a few elevation changes, and they weren't too wild. Front 9 played mostly end-to-end, and the back 9 had some holes that ran back-to-back with a couple oak groves between fairways & greens. They have a driving range and areas to chip & putt. Reasonably priced. Staff was pleasant & helpful. I would definitely play here again.

Meriwether National is a great course. It has gotten way better over the last few years. My last few outings have been fabulous! The greens and greens keeping are very well kept for the price at hand. The practice facilities are large with lots of different varieties of practice areas for chipping and putting. They have a big driving range with grass option. The Meriwether grill cooks up some up to par eats if your hungry. I would definitely recommend this venue for your next golf outing.

The course is a bit overpriced for the condition. Some of the greens were in rough shape. But most of the fairways are relatively wide and flat, making it a good forgiving full course for beginner players, while a few holes have forced carries or hills to keep it interesting for intermediate players. I lost fewer balls here than on any other course in my year and a half of golfing.
